Evolution of Girl Groups

[Mr. Sandman - 1954]

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Make him the cutest, that I've ever seen

[Dancing in the Street - 1964]

Calling out around the world

We're dancing in the street

[Stop! In the Name of Love - 1965]

Oh, stop, in the name of love (Name of love)

Before you break my heart

[Lady Marmalade - 1974]

Voulez-vouz coucher avec moi ce soir?

Creole Lady Marmalade

[Best of my Love - 1977]

Ooh ooh, you got the best of my love

Whoa whoa, you got the best of my love

[We are Family - 1979]

We are family

I got all my sisters with me

[It's Raining Men - 1983]

It's raining men! Hallelujah!

We're gonna get absolutely soaking wet!

[Venus - 1986]

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

At your desire

[Alone - 1987]

Till now I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

How do I get you alone

No, you're never gonna get it

Never ever gonna get it

No, you're never gonna get it

[Whatta Man - 1993]

Whatta mighty mighty good man

Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man

Say it again

Don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

[Wannabe - 1996, Spice Up Your Life - 1997]

Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want

So tell me what you want, what you really really want

I wanna (Hey), I wanna (Hey), I wanna (Hey), I wanna (Hey)

I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zig, ah

If you wanna be my lover

You gotta get with my friends (Spice up your life)

Make it last forever

Friendship never ends

[No Scrubs - 1999]

A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly

And is also known as a buster

So no, I don't want no scrub

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Trying to holler at me

[Where My Girls At? - 1999]

Where my girls at

From the front to back

Well is you feelin' that

Put one hand up

Can you repeat that

Tryin' to take my man

See I don't need that

[Say My Name - 1999]

Say my name, say my name

You actin' kinda shady

Ain't callin' me baby

Better say my name

Any other day

I would call, you would say

"Baby, how's your day?"

But today, it ain't the same

I know you say that I am assuming things

Something's going down, that's the way it seems

Shouldn't be no reason why you're acting strange

If nobody's holding you back from me

Say my name, say my name

When no one is around you

Say baby I love you

[Survivor - 2001]

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm not gon' give up (What?)

I'm not gon' stop (What?)

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on survivin'

[Buttons - 2005]

I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby

But you keep fronting

[Damaged - 2008]

I've tried every remedy

And nothing seems to work for me

Damaged (damaged), damaged (damaged)

I thought that I should let you know

That my heart is damaged (damaged)

So damaged (so damaged)

And you can blame the one before

[Wings - 2012]

Mama told me not to waste my life

She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

Cause wings are made to fly

[Black Magic - 2015]

Take a sip of my secret potion

I'll make you fall in love

For a spell that can't be broken

One drop should be enough

Boy, you belong to me

I got the recipe

And it's called black magic

(and it's called black magic)

[Work From Home - 2016]

I know you're always on the night shift

But I can't stand these nights alone

And I don't need no explanation

'Cause baby, you're the boss at home

[BO$$ - 2014]

Boss

Michelle Obama

Purse all heavy

Gettin' Oprah dollars

I pledge allegiance to my independent girls in here

Ooh Baby

So if you with us, come on lemme hear you say

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Sledgehammer - 2014]

If you could take my pulse right now

It would feel just like a sledgehammer

Woah-oh...(I want no scrubs) (If you wanna be my lover)

If you could feel my heartbeat now

It would hit you like a sledgehammer

Woah-oh...(We are family) (It's called black magic)

You're taking over the beat of my body

You just don't let up, don't let up (Woah you better say my name)

You're taking over the beat of my body

But you lift me up, lift me up

If you could take my pulse right now

It would feel just like a sledgehammer

[Alone - 1987]

How do I get you alone?
